Who is more ambitious?

In the House of Commons yesterday during the Referendum debate David Cameron got shirty with Boris Johnson , not to say, according to some accounts, downright nasty. The charge was that Boris is only supporting the Leave EU lobby because, if the vote goes that way, he saw a chance of becoming Prime Minister.

Maybe Boris Johnson has been duplicitous in dealing with Cameron in the last few weeks and didn’t give any hint that he might have secretly intended to vote to leave. Maybe, he hasn’t been. Either way, is Cameron implying that, in becoming Prime Minister six years ago, he had no personal ambitions himself?
